About HeatPumpClarity

HeatPumpClarity was created to help homeowners in the Hudson Valley and Westchester County better understand heat pumps, available incentives, and whether a heat pump may be a good fit for their home before speaking with an installer.

Our Mission

We are an independent educational resource dedicated to:

  • Educate

    Homeowners about heat pump technology, how they work, and their benefits in our climate

  • Clarify

    Complex incentive programs and government jargon into plain English

  • Simplify

    The path to understanding your heat pump options and estimated incentives

  • Empower

    Homeowners to make informed decisions before speaking with contractors

Important: We Are Not an HVAC Contractor

HeatPumpClarity is an independent educational platform. We do not:

  • Install equipment or perform installations
  • Conduct home energy audits or inspections
  • Provide contractor services or recommendations
  • Sell products or take commissions

Our role is to help you understand your options and estimated incentives before you speak with a qualified HVAC contractor.

Our Focus: Hudson Valley & Westchester County

We specialize in helping homeowners in the following regions understand heat pumps and the NYS Clean Heat program:

  • Westchester County
  • Putnam County
  • Dutchess County
  • Rockland County

We focus on utilities including Central Hudson, Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, and Orange & Rockland.

Transparency & Accuracy

All incentive information on this site is based on current NYS Clean Heat program rules and utility company requirements.

We understand that:

  • Incentive amounts may change as programs update budgets and requirements
  • Eligibility is not guaranteed until final review by NYSERDA and your utility
  • Site-specific factors may affect your final incentive amount

We update our information regularly, but you should always confirm details with NYSERDA and your utility before making purchasing decisions.

How Estimates Are Calculated

Our estimates are based on publicly available information:

  • NYS Clean Heat program guidelines
  • Individual utility company incentive rates
  • Your home type, equipment choice, and location
  • DAC (Disadvantaged Community) factors if applicable

Use our eligibility tool to get a personalized estimate for your situation.
